Bowie – From Station To Station (The Legendary Broadcasts)

Vinyl 12"

After the success of the dance hits Fame and Young Americans (both off 1975's Young Americans), Bowie seemed to step back, ponder the future of rock, and then turn up the guitars and the art-rock sensibilities and make a completely engaging and evocative album. From the epic title track (introducing the Thin White Duke character and building into an incendiary rocker) to the irresistible Golden Years (another dance hit) and on to the physically wrenching and funk-drenched Stay, the soul of David Bowie is pretty much meshed into every track. The playful TVC15 takes the listener on a bumpy ride into unholy tech-love, and the gorgeous Wild is the Wind.
